WHAT’S AT STAKE

Government employers are not exempt from OSHA, and citations are public record.

Public works crews, water and wastewater operations, parks and recreation, and government construction projects face the same OSHA exposure as private employers, with the added risk of public scrutiny.

Confined space fatalities, vehicle accidents, and struck-by incidents in public sector operations make headlines. The cost isn’t just the fine; it’s the political and reputational fallout.

What a United Safety Professional program looks like in practice.

MUNICIPAL ANNUAL SAFETY PROGRAM

Mid-Size City Public Works Department Reduces Recordable Rate by 44% in 24 Months

“Our union reps were skeptical when we brought in an outside safety partner. Within six months, they were asking us to expand the program to other departments.”

Director of Public Works, city of 85,000 residents, New England

FROM THE FIELD

What our clients are saying after one year

Before USP, we were reactive — waiting for something to go wrong before we fixed it. After the first year of the program, we hadn’t had a single OSHA citation. That’s never happened in our 20-year history.
James Donovan
VP of Operations, Regional Construction Firm
